Neputa 2014 Hirosaki ねぷた祭 2014 弘前市

It was raining this day.  Maybe because of the rain, we were lucky to find free seats for us in front of Hirosaki station.

雨が降っていた。そのせいか、弘前駅前に空いている席を見つけた。







As Nebuta festival in Aomori city, which is the famous one, people are marching saying "Lasse- lasse- lasse- laaa" but here they say more aggressive and in masculine tone "Yaaa yaaa yaaa daaa".
In Aomori city, they have Haneto (hopper, jumper) who wares actually like girl, and this is actually the difference between Nebuta in Aomori and Heputa in Hirosaki.

青森市のねぶた祭では「ラッセー、ラッセー、ラッセー、ラー」と掛け声が掛かるが、ここではもっと荒々しく迫力のある声で、「ヤー、ヤーヤー、ダー」と、男らしい祭だ。
青森では跳人と呼ばれる人たちが女性の恰好をしているが、ここが青森ねぶたと弘前ねぷたの違いでもある。
